ZARA X BALENCIAGA RACE RUNNER DUPES

As far as dupes are concerned, there are 2 kinds of people; the type that consider dupes as a great and affordable compromise...look the part for less, while the other type that feel like if you can't afford the real thing, don't bother rocking a dupe.

Just so we're clear though, there are fakes and there are dupes.

A fake LV speedy bag, for instance, was made as an exact replica of the existing LV speedy bag, however, there will be little differences in the quality and details of the original piece that only the real designer will get to the T.

A dupe, however, isn't a replica, but is made to closely resemble the original piece such that if you cannot afford the original, you can opt for its dupe, still enjoy the trend and spend less.

As you've probably already figured, my Topshop shoes in this post are dupes for the Balenciaga Race Runners...I'm not ready to spend over $500 on balenciaga shoes right now, and these pink salmon topshop ones hit the spot for me.

Which side of the divide are you on? Would you rock a dupe or nah? Are you gon' "fake it till you make it" or nah? Let me know in the comments :)

I am loving this look! Your jacket is in such a pretty shade of pink, your shoes too. Wow, thanks for sharing. I saw the Balenciaga race runners recently and tried them on. I fell in love with them but I certainly cannot afford them at the moment, this is a really great alternative. <3Coco Bella Blog
